Title: What law is it that says
Post by: Snoopy on May 17, 2008, 12:05:05 PM
It will ALWAYS be 2am that the smoke detector will commence its infernal bleeping to let me know that the batteries needs changing ?  Banghead

There is NEVER a spare battery of the right size in the house?  Banghead

The day AFTER I change the batteries a leaflet from the fire brigade offering a smoke detector test will arrive?  Banghead

Despite my following the advice to change the batteries on an anniversary, to ensure that they are renewed annually, the new batteries WILL NOT last a year but die two or three weeks before the next anniversary?  Banghead

Spooky.

Ours decided to start bleating at about 0400, but strangely stopped just after the radio alarm came on - Smooth FM!

About 30 mins ago, it started again. have removed battery, will obtain replacement when I go off to see the footie. Got to stay in a reasonable state, wedding anniversary today.

(i) You haven't seen the wiring in this old house  scared2:
